Abstract

A robot apparatus includes: a robotic arm provided with a robotic hand capable of changing its position and its orientation by using joints; a visual sensor which measures a position or an orientation of a gripped object gripped with the robotic hand at a measurement teaching point; and a control device. The control device controls the position or the orientation of the gripped object when the gripped object is attached to an attachment target object at a corrected teaching point corrected based on a measurement result by the visual sensor. In this case, the control device determines a measurement teaching point, where the measurement with the visual sensor takes place, such that a driving direction of each of the joints from the measurement teaching point to the corrected teaching point is set to a definite driving direction.
